Online published on 23 December, 2016. Abstract The rootings of hard wood cuttings of Fig were treated with different concentrations of plant growth regulator viz. 500 ppm IBA, 750 ppm IBA, 1000 ppm IBA, 500 ppm NAA, 750 ppm NAA, 1000 ppm NAA, 500 ppm IBA + 500 ppm NAA, 750 ppm IBA + 750 ppm NAA, 1000 ppmIBA + 1000 ppm NAA and control arranged in in Completely Randomized Design replicated thrice at Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Amongst different plant growth regulators, cuttings treatedwith 1000 ppm IBA+1000 ppm NAA gave significantly maximum number of roots (25.10), percentage of rooted cuttings (58.66%), survival percentage of rooted cuttings (82.50%) and root to shoot ratio (0.18). The fig planting material can be raised with high success by pre-treatment of cuttings with 1000 ppm IBA + 1000 ppm NAA. Top Keywords Fig, Hardwood cuttings, Plant growth regulators, Rooted cuttings.
